Re: Another Record ($118.05)

Postby PeakingAroundtheCorner » Tue 22 Apr 2008, 08:40:01

$118.05 in overnight trading.

Funny... The other day when the price broke $117 per barrel the media spin went to speculation and a Japanese tanker mishap. My point is, they always have an excuse and sometimes they do indeed hit the mark.

But today, there seems to be no spin with which to accompany the new record of $118.05. No tanker collisions. No pipeline sabotage. No speculation. They're just announcing the new national gas average of $3.51 and the oil price without any spin as to why it still continues to go up.

So, seems the prices spike when there is an actual reason and it seem it spikes when there isn't.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('frankthetank', 'I') hear ya. Just like Miami. Seems such an easy target for a hurricane, but its been a long time since a hard hit (even Andrew missed to the south a little).

Read some article on Marketwatch earlier. Author seemed to understand the situation pretty well and sees $150 oil by fall.

Read another article on msnbc about the Chinese love of SUV's and large cars. Sales are way up (still small compared to US of A). GM is going to bring the Escalade to their market next year.


Yesterday, CNBS was showing several analyst "adjustments" moving upwards including one who had predicted oil would be $80. He raised his bottom to $100. And more than one had adjusted from ~$100 to $125 this year.

Personally, and considering the exponentially compounding effects of PO none of us expected, I'm sticking with my earlier prediction of ~$200 (anything above $180 bbl) by the end of this year - especially if there is a hurrican strike on infrastructure.

I see some people posting oil prices around 01:00AM

How is this possible? Which markets are you watching and how do we do the same on the internet?

Jeez, in the time it took me to upload $118.40 to Flickr, there was a new record.

Cool =) I gladly stand corrected. Personally, I wish it was $200 a barrel.
